Title: Some music, C&C please
Post by: gameboy on Tue 27/12/2005 15:37:05
Well, I thought that my game i'm working on right now needs some tunes. So I wrote a song, but well, I am not so good using FruityLoops, so anyway the result is here.

I think that the problem is that drums aren't so good. I already got some help from one DJ, but however, if you think there's something wrong then just tell me. I can do some changes.
Anyway, would that be good enough for an adventure game background music?

You're on a good start!

Some suggestions:

- Add techno-esque synth hihat pattern (do you know what I mean?)

- Add some sort of swooshing pad or ambience to the song to give it more depth and to fill it out more.

Very nice, this harkens back to Amiga modness- which is a good thing.  What I would do if this were my work would be:

1.  Replace the drum with something that sounds a bit less synthy
2.  Add another, lower drum to accompany the beat you've set up.
3.  (Possibly) toss in a hi-hat as Geoffkhan suggested.
4.  Either find a good (hah!) synth guitar or a decent synth string sample and bring it in to create a solid theme which I would then re-use in some form in the rest of the tunes for the game- this makes the soundtrack one coherent piece where all the tunes are recognizable as part of a whole.

Great start, really.

Thanks for the advice!
Yeah, some hihats would make it much better. And I'll change the drums. But the problem is that I can't figure out which synth string would be good.
And, of course, swoosh or ambience pads would be good, too.
